Liverpool are in discussions over a potential replacement for Robertson, with the highly aggressive defender said to be eager to join the club.

Liverpool are said to be in discussions over a possible move for Antonee Robinson as they consider long-term options at left-back amid uncertainty surrounding Andy Robertson’s future.

The Scotland international has just over five months remaining on his contract at Anfield, and The Athletic’s David Ornstein recently reported that Tottenham Hotspur have been actively exploring a deal for the 31-year-old. However, Paul Joyce of The Times noted on Sunday night that Liverpool have informed Spurs they are not prepared to sell Robertson in the final week of the January transfer window.

Despite that stance, Liverpool are reportedly revisiting their interest in Robinson. According to TEAMtalk, the Reds are planning a renewed approach for the Fulham defender, having been sporadically linked with him throughout last season. The outlet claims talks have resumed and that Robinson — formerly of Everton — is keen on a return to Merseyside. Liverpool’s hierarchy are believed to see a pairing of Robinson and Milos Kerkez as an ideal long-term solution on the left side of defence.

Robinson has previously impressed against Liverpool, most notably during Fulham’s 2-2 draw at Anfield in December 2024, where he provided both assists. Following that match, Fulham boss Marco Silva praised the American’s aggressive display. While the 28-year-old has not quite matched those heights this season due to a knee injury that sidelined him for two months, his underlying statistics still point to a strong all-round defender who contributes significantly going forward.

Liverpool may be forced into the market for a left-back later this year if Robertson does not extend his contract and if an acceptable permanent offer arrives for Kostas Tsimikas, whose loan at Roma could be curtailed. Robinson has proven his Premier League quality and could offer serious competition for Kerkez should changes occur in the coming months.

That said, Robinson will turn 29 before the start of next season, which may place him outside Liverpool’s usual recruitment age profile under FSG. Questions also remain over whether he would challenge for a starting role or act primarily as cover.

For now, attention turns to whether these revived links develop further for a player who has already made his mark at Anfield — albeit not in Liverpool colours.
